Description
Colorized photo from 1940
Location: 225 E Main St, Benton Harbor, Michigan
Original Title: Gas station, Benton Harbor, Michigan
Does this scene bring up any memories you had when you were younger? Just a simple place where you could get gas, get your car washed and then you were on your way. A station that did everything, and you didn't need to get into different lines to get it all done. The only thing that is the same, is the amount of advertising.
If anyone is interested, this location still exists, only now its a barber shop, and they added a round about, which clipped into that sign. All the buildings on the left are gone, but the red building and the Vincent hotel are still standing there.

A step into nostalgia, and maybe onto the set of the Pixar movie, Cars? Love the small town, vintage feeling of this.
